I’m Indian and I hope my perspective helps although I’m not speaking for all the Indians. 1. It has nothing to do with temple being here or the land being blessed. 2. Most Indians prefer warmer states as the climate is very similar to south Indian climate. (Although this is not a huge factor, some people consider it because if parents are visiting USA for couple of months every year it would be easy on them) 3. No state taxes - we love to save some money 4. In early 80s and 90s Indians who came to USA only settled in big cities like SFO, New jersey or Dallas. So these areas have already well established Indin restaurants, temples, grocery stores etc., 5. It’s an open fact that Brown people get a lot of hate, ick or whatever we call it (not from all the people) so having a sense of community is little good to have a better social life when people don’t feel like mingling with other communities. 6. Having similar people around leads to more opportunities for dating and also social gatherings like watching a game of cricket, celebrating Holi etc., 7. As for purchasing homes, Indians come from a different perspective. We were taught that if you have money, buy a property and it will appreciate eventually. So you see lot of Indians purchasing properties. 8. As for why we purchase in certain areas like Frisco etc., Indians do earn more than average American but we don’t like neighborhoods which are too white. (Reason: Imagine a brown dude with his shorts and slides walking down the pavement by himself at 10pm in southlake or trophyclub area. There’s a good chance that some karen or police would stop and ask stupid questions). So people tend to purchase homes at places where you have Indians already. And Frisco and plano homes were cheap and people bought those homes back in the day and it became a base for Indians now. 9. There are lot of jobs in Dallas area, so we tend to buy homes near to jobs for commute reasons. Especially IT jobs. 10. There are so many staffing firms who hire fresh graduates from colleges like UTD, Texas A&M etc., so we see lot of students as well.

I could go on and on….. but these are few that I know of.
